What skill made you a better maker? And how did you acquire it?

Hey we made an article about in-demand tech skills to get back on track and stay relevant this time of Pandemic :) Check it out here https://lessandra.com.ph/blog/20...

keeping tab on small goals that was set and achieved those in the stipulated time.

In general building projects. There are so many skills needed that I have only found after started doing projects. From support, to idea validation, various marketing channels. I consider all of them skills that make me a better maker. The two things that I had to catch up on to get started at all were design & talking to users.

I'm a coder... so writing is something I would rarely do. I've started to write more. Post more. Comment more. Why did it make me better? I got to talk to customers, understand their needs, how they speak and words they use. How did I acquire it? writing every day.

Taking a break. It is so easy to get sucked into long working hours when your are building something really interesting. Taking a break and tending to other hobbies or just chilling prevents burn out and actually increases the efficiency. At least in my experience.

Self-reflection - I am currently working on a new project at my new job and it has been really stressful. I like to say I work better under pressure, but now I am not so sure. However, instead of itching to find my way out of this project, I've taken the time to sit back and reflect on my communication skills. Currently, I need help and for the first time in a while at least professionally I am not afraid to say I need help.
